Chapter 787 The Caravan Sets Off

"Teacher, why are there so many lava giant lizards?"

In the Temple Square, Gervis had sent someone to find Welton. At this time, Welton's physical strengthening had taken effect. Just from the outside, he looked a little younger than he was more than an hour ago.

When he saw hundreds of giant lizards in the square, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"I don't know what happened to these guys. They appeared in the forest outside the city. Today, they were seen by serfs who were farming, and they reported it to us."

"I originally thought there were only four or five, but later I discovered there were hundreds. In the end I used potions to control them all!"

"By the way, Weldon, are these monsters called lava lizards?"

Gervis explained a few words to Welton, and then spoke to confirm the real names of these big guys.

At this time, these big guys were following the giant crocodile. The lava lizard and the giant crocodile were not the same species, but the Warcraft system emphasized that the strong was the king.

When faced with the giant crocodile, a high-level magical beast, these newly recruited brothers naturally did not dare to act rashly.

"Yes mentor, they are lava lizards!"

"This is truly miraculous! It is a very strange phenomenon that hundreds of lava monitors can appear outside the forest at once!"

"As far as I know, the lava monitors live in the Hellfire Mouth. They live in groups and rarely appear outside the Hellfire Mouth. They will only go out temporarily when they are looking for food. But even if they are looking for food, they will not leave the Hellfire Mouth too far, especially in such a large group."

Wilton looked at these lava monitors. Lava monitors are not easy to catch. Although they are only mid-level magical beasts, the problem is that a group of mid-level magical beasts have thick skin and flesh and can dig holes. If they are in the mouth of hellfire, they can even drill into the lava.

Weldon immediately told Gervis the detailed information about the lava monitor.

"The mouth of hellfire?"

Gervis was stunned when he heard this unfamiliar name.

"Oh, it's the crater!"

The next moment, Gervis finally remembered that he had read about it once in a book. At that time, Gervis thought that there really was a hell in this world. Later, after reading the description, he realized that it was a crater.

"Welton, so there must be a hellfire mouth near us."

Thinking of the crater, Gervis couldn't help but ask a question. After all, St. Ann City was his base. If there really was a volcano, he would have to be on guard.

"Yes, Master! Logically speaking, with such a large group of lava giant lizards appearing, there must be a hellfire crater nearby!"

Weldon answered in the affirmative!

"Um!"

Gervis silently kept the news in mind and looked towards the southwest.

He had observed outside the city before and found that there were no tall mountains near Saint Ann City, so the volcano should be some distance away from Saint Ann City.

The last time he flew west to the orc area, he encountered a mountain more than fifty miles away.

At that time, the mountain looked very ordinary, with a large cone shape and dense vegetation on it. Now it seems that it is very likely the crater where these lava monitors live.

At that moment, Gervis decided to wait for two days when he had some free time before going to confirm it. If it was really fifty miles away, there would be no need to worry so much.

…

Time flies and it's already been half a month. Ever since he got hundreds of lava lizards, Gervis began to select members for his first Warcraft cavalry from among his direct guards.

Finally, one hundred outstanding guard members were selected to be equipped with lava lizards. However, this Warcraft squadron was not separated out separately, but continued to exist as a direct guard. The only difference was that they were the elites among the direct guards.

And because these lava monitors have already recognized Gervis as their master, training them does not require as much effort and time as those in the holy cities.

Many times, Gervis only needed to teach these lava lizards how to obey orders in his mind, and they would quickly understand. This allowed Gervis's Warcraft squadron to quickly gain a certain combat effectiveness. The only drawback was that the knight himself was too weak.

Of course, because of Gervis's potion enhancement, the member knights of these direct guards have also been greatly improved. Among them, more than ten have broken through to become gold knights, and the number of silver knights has increased to more than 600.

In addition to the matters of the direct guard, Gervis also took the time to confirm the situation of the volcano, and indeed confirmed that the mountain more than 50 kilometers away was the volcano.

On the top of the mountain, Gervis saw many holes for lava monitors to enter and exit, which were dug by the salamanders themselves.

Gervis followed the cave to the belly of the mountain and discovered several lava pools.

However, he did not know much about volcanic geology, so he could not tell whether this volcano was an active volcano or whether it would erupt again.

After checking the location of the volcano, Gervis returned to St. Ann.

Since there were no more difficult problems in the territory at this stage, Gervis began to practice hard again, and finally broke through successfully after a few days, becoming a beginner-level Black Flag Knight.

…

At noon that day, Gervis came to the backyard of the small building as usual and checked the condition of the sacred tree.

The holy tree is still growing, about one centimeter every day, but the goddess inside the holy tree is still motionless, probably still sleeping. The statue that Gervis stole is still there intact.

Suddenly, Gervis remembered the walking stick he got from the Holy Bridge Castle in the space ring, so he also stuck the walking stick into the ground.

After doing all this, Gervis just walked out of the small building. Not long after he walked out of the small building, he saw Ike walking hurriedly towards him.

"Your Majesty, the goblin Chachar has returned! He said that the wooden bridge outside the Saint Bridge Castle has been built and is open to traffic!"

"very good!"

Gervis was delighted to hear the news. Now that Saint Bridge Fort was passable, it meant that his caravan could set off.

Because he exchanged gold coins for energy points twice, Gervis almost spent all the gold coins he had earned.

Fortunately, the second sale of wine brought in more than 300,000 gold coins. Although 20% of them were given to the elves, there were still more than 200,000 gold coins left, so the current expenses of the settlement were enough to support it for a few months.

Of course, this is just the basic expense. If you want to expand your army or start another war, you must earn more gold coins. This is why Gervis wants to send out the gold coins earlier.

"Your Majesty, the Honorable Gervis! Chachar is honored to report to you! The bridge you asked Chachar to build has been completed!"

As soon as Gervis arrived at the temple, Chachar quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Gervis, and then spoke flatteringly.

"Very good! Chachaer, I will remember your contribution. Go find Caroline later and ask her to give you two large barrels of magic wine. Also, go find Chef Jimmy and ask him to give you a whole monster meat!"

"Besides that, I have a reward of 500 gold coins!"

Gervis was not stingy with the goblin. As he spoke, he took out five small black bags from his space ring, which were filled with heavy gold coins.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Gervis! You are such a generous and kind monarch!"

When Chachar heard the series of rewards from Gervis, especially when he saw the five heavy black purses in Gervis's hand, his mouth almost cracked with smile.

"Well, go ahead! Go back and rest for two days, then continue to help me build Stormwind City!"

"Yes, Your Majesty Gervis!"

Chachar couldn't wait to get the wine and monster meat. He bowed to Gervis again and ran out of the temple in a hurry.

After Chachar left, Gervis looked at Ike and gave instructions.

"Ike, go inform Gust right now and tell him that our caravan will leave in the next two days. Have him instruct the two squadrons of direct guards to prepare for the departure... The Warcraft Squadron is one of them!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ike took the order and left quickly.

After Ik left, Gervis also walked towards the square outside the temple. He needed to go to the gathering place to find Caroline to arrange the caravan.

…

Two days later, at the gate of St. Ann City.

At this moment, a team of more than a thousand people was pouring out of the city gate.

At this time, Gervis was riding a giant crocodile and walking in the front, and behind him was the newly formed and majestic lava lizard squadron.

Hundreds of lava monitors were arranged in two rows at the back, and behind these lava monitors were hundreds of carriages.

All of these carriages were loaded with huge oak barrels, and inside the barrels were wine, the main product of Gervis's trade.

This time, Gervis brought a total of one thousand barrels of ordinary wine and two hundred barrels of potion wine.

The total value of this batch of goods is at least three or four hundred thousand gold coins, and this is calculated by Gervis based on the original purchase price of the Holy Trading Company.

If he raised the price a little more, he might make more.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Behind the carriage was a squadron of 100 men of the direct guard, all riding ordinary war horses.

…

Gervis and his team moved very quickly, and because there were four swift dragon birds in the sky responsible for scouting the surrounding situation, Gervis and his team did not have to worry about safety issues, and arrived at Saint Bridge Castle two days later.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

When he arrived at Saint Bridge Fort, Gervis did not cross the river directly. Naturally, he had to enter Saint Bridge Fort to check the situation.

When Hayden and Alex saw Gervis, they immediately went forward to greet him.

"Well, what's the situation around here during this period? Is there anything unusual?"

After entering the city, Gervis inspected the city walls and then went to the temple of Saint Bridge Castle.

He was very satisfied with the spirit of the guards on duty and the clean streets in the city.

These details at least show that Hayden and his men, along with the soldiers of their direct guards, did not slack off after he left.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong. The twenty swift dragon birds you left for us have been patrolling the area within 50 miles day and night, and have not found any traces of indigenous people or humans!"

"Very good! Now that the bridge has been rebuilt, I will lead the caravan to other holy cities for trade. You must guard the Holy Bridge Fort. I estimate that this road will become very busy in the future. The Holy Bridge Fort is the greatest guarantee for the safety of the trade route!"

Inside the temple, Gervis, Hayden and Alex sat at a long table and drank wine together, while he explained to them the importance of the Holy Bridge Castle.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will serve you till death and will definitely ensure the safety of Saint Bridge Castle!"

Alec has now learned to drink wine.

I can't drink too much on weekdays because I have to be on duty and the wine is limited every month.

This time, Gervis directly took out three jugs of wine, one for each person. As a result, he drank until his face turned red, and he talked more than usual.

"Haha, I feel relieved now that you said that! Hayden, Alex, while you two are on duty, don't forget to practice hard!"

"I will continue my journey with the caravan now!"

Seeing Alex's silly look, Gervis couldn't help but laugh. He didn't plan to delay any longer and said, "Yes! Your Majesty!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Afterwards, Gervis led the team forward. When they came to the river and saw the bridge, Gervis couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Chachar, the timid goblin.

Although it took only one month to build the bridge, the size of the bridge was not reduced at all. The bridge deck is more than 300 meters long and 8 meters wide, which can accommodate two carriages traveling towards each other. Moreover, more than a thousand people including Gervis did not feel any shaking when walking on the bridge. The bridge was extremely solid.

After crossing the bridge, Gervis did not delay any longer, as there were still three days of journey to go.

…

Three days passed in a flash, and Gervis and others were finally about to arrive at Saint Di City where Johnson was. As they got closer and closer to Saint Di City, they finally saw the adventurers passing by.

This Saint Di City is also a small city like Gervis's Saint Ann City that can accommodate fifty or sixty thousand people. However, because Johnson's Holy City has a direct population of tens of millions, this Saint Di City has already become prosperous.

"Haha, Lord Gervis! I've finally waited for you!"

"You actually have hundreds of lava monitors. That's quite impressive!"

When we arrived outside the city of Saint Di, the city lord Johnson was already waiting at the city gate.

Seeing Gervis leading hundreds of lava monitors, he couldn't help but reveal an envious look.

Although Johnson also has a legion of thousands of Warcraft under his command, the problem is that those Warcraft are the most common storm wolves, which are no match for Gervis, a mid-level lava monitor. Gervis, a lava monitor, can deal with four or five of his storm wolves.

"Haha! City Lord Johnson, you are joking. I am just lucky. There is a hellfire mouth near my Saint Ann City!"

Gervis immediately jumped off the giant crocodile and started chatting politely with Johnson.

"Lord Gervis, there are so many carriages this time. How much wine have you loaded? But let's make it clear that you have to leave at least ten barrels for me!"

After a few polite words, Johnson turned his attention to the hundreds of carriages at the rear of the team.

At this time, hundreds of carriages were covered with cowhide cloth, and Johnson didn't know how much wine Gervis brought.

However, he had become addicted to drinking wine in the past two days, and even had a bottle of wine in the wine jug around his waist, so he immediately asked Gervis, fearing that the wine Gervis brought would not be enough to sell.

"All of them! Don't worry, Duke Johnson, you can definitely drink as much as you want this time! Haha!"

"All of them! Hiss... Gervis, there must be at least a thousand barrels, right? Is the output so high?"

When Johnson heard that the carriages were loaded with wine, his eyes widened in disbelief.

He knew the price of the wine, and because the Sacred Trading Company had run out of stock, the price of the wine had been driven up even higher, and it was the kind that even if one had the money, one had no place to buy it.

But Gervis brought thousands of barrels at one time, which was worth nearly one million gold coins. The speed at which he made money was too terrifying.

"To be exact, there are 1,200 barrels, of which 200 are magic wine and 1,000 are ordinary wine! The reason why the output is so high is actually because of the elves!"

Gervais explained to Johnson with a smile.

To be honest, he quite enjoyed the look of Johnson being poisoned by wine. He could see that other dignitaries of the Holy Alliance must be in the same state.

"Lord Johnson, tell me! How many barrels do you want this time?"

Gervais continued to ask.

"Twenty barrels... No, no, no, twenty-five barrels, twenty ordinary barrels and five barrels of potion!"

Hearing Gervis' question, Johnson didn't have time to say anything else and quickly reported the number!
